Do you believe in reincarnation? Elise Estrada and Adam Hurstfield sure do, after what happened to the couple over the summer.

Estrada, a Surrey-raised singer/actor, and music producer Hurtsfield have been trying to have a baby for close to five years. Estrada was told by a doctor that she needed to have a large fibroid removed before she could conceive, but her pregnancy test proved positive in July sa国际传媒� a day after Hurstfieldsa国际传媒檚 brother died in a Cancun hospital after a battle with cancer and COVID-19.

The timing is not lost on the music-making couple, who live in Vancouver.

sa国际传媒淚snsa国际传媒檛 it odd that we couldnsa国际传媒檛 get pregnant for years, then immediately after Bert passed away, the egg fertilized?sa国际传媒� Hurstfield posted to Facebook this month. sa国际传媒淣ow this is some Jerry Springer sh*t because I am about to become my older brothersa国际传媒檚 Daddy! I have no doubt in my mind that this baby is Bert. Isa国际传媒檓 sure God spoke with Bert (and) when he found out that he could come back again as a Hurstfield, he stopped fighting.sa国际传媒�

The story is told in an emotional 10-minute video posted to , the couplesa国际传媒檚 YouTube channel. The clip also features Hurstfieldsa国际传媒檚 son from an earlier relationship, Chance, a 13-year-old actor currently seen in the ABC drama .

sa国际传媒淲esa国际传媒檙e so excited,sa国际传媒� Estrada said. sa国际传媒淚t was an emotional time and I wanted to capture and film it all.

sa国际传媒淚 was the one who said to Adam, sa国际传媒業 really think this is your brother reincarnated.sa国际传媒� I really do. We feel itsa国际传媒檚 a miracle.sa国际传媒�

The first three months of high-risk pregnancy were scary for the pair, because the babysa国际传媒檚 heartbeat was faint and Estrada was bedridden.

Now, the babysa国际传媒檚 heart is beating strongly and is progressing beautifully, the couple report, and theysa国际传媒檙e ready to spread the news.

The baby is due on April 1.

sa国际传媒淚sa国际传媒檓 willing to bet that the baby will be born on March 28, which is my birthday and also the birthday of my brothersa国际传媒檚 son, which is another thing here,sa国际传媒� Hurstfield said.

sa国际传媒淚 was on the fence about this kind of stuff, until now.sa国际传媒�

Estrada, who graduated from Holy Cross Regional High School in Surrey, hit the pop charts with songs including sa国际传媒淚nsatiable,sa国际传媒� sa国际传媒淯nlove Yousa国际传媒� and sa国际传媒淟ipsticksa国际传媒� in the late-2000s. She performed at .

Now, with everything else going on in life, she has some new music due out soon.

sa国际传媒淵ou know what, Isa国际传媒檝e been focused on being a stage mom for Chance, really, so Isa国际传媒檝e had songs ready to go for awhile, and with COVID, theresa国际传媒檚 no touring, so wesa国际传媒檙e going to release the music soon,sa国际传媒� Estrada explained.

sa国际传媒淓lise is very much a team player,sa国际传媒� Hurstfield added, sa国际传媒渁nd she always felt that this is Chancesa国际传媒檚 time right now, to help him, to take him to set, coach him, all of that. So Isa国际传媒檝e been traveling the world producing pop stars in a bunch of countries, and so it would have been impossible for Elise and I both to be on the road at the same time, and Chance to be filming. So Elise kind of took the bullet and decided it was more important to let Chance have his moment.sa国际传媒� Now is a perfect time to virtually promote the record instead of hitting the road. Shesa国际传媒檚 been working on new music the whole time.sa国际传媒�
